Multiple Timeframes support available?

  Can anyone tell me if 10.3 now supports multiple timeframes so i can a signal from a 15minute chart can allow me to sell a share on an hourly chart.

  Many thanks

  Still not available right now, but this feature will be added this year for IG/PRT-CFD customers, just right after the new engine (which is already available with a prorealtime trading with IB or prorealtime software account).

  Hi Nicolas,

   

  I use PRT with IB. Could you guide me on some doc I could use to write my trading systems and indicators, based on multiple timeframes ?

   

  Thanks a lot

  I have seen this first implementation on auto-trading (that is not available on every broker using PRT) : https://www.prorealcode.com/blog/learning/approach-multi-timeframe-trading-prorealtime/

  Any insights to create indicators using mutiple timeframes on the same chart ?

  ProBuilder does not support MTF at present, thus making it impossible to build MTF indicators/oscillators.

  MTF Indicators can be simulated by running a piece of code as a strategy in ProBackTest and using GRAPHONPRICE to plot it on the chart. You’ll have to keep your backtest window open at all time, though.

  Example: https://www.prorealcode.com/documentation/graphonprice/

  MTF is not available for indicators yet. It is only available for ProOrder strategies and ProScreener.

  You can however create some MTF indicators by coding a dummy strategy and using GRAPH or GRAPHONPRICE. Something like this:

  timeframe(weekly, updateonclose) a = average[52] timeframe(daily, default) b = average[200] buy at -close limit graphonprice a graphonprice b

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

  timeframe(weekly, updateonclose) a = average[52]   timeframe(daily, default) b = average[200]   buy at -close limit   graphonprice a graphonprice b

  Thanks for the ansewer that looks great in general.

  In my case, I tried, but my timeframe is in ticks in the indcator, it seems like I cannot combine it with a time view, like 1 hour.

  I would like to get values at specific times, let’s say each 15 minutes on a 200 ticks chatr on dow

  I used the folloing code to retrieve Close by hand, but I was wondering wheter

  Q1/ There would be a better way to build the (closeTime0 to closeTime4) simulated array,  like using a real array, I may need more values and I would like to use indicators on those. I can go from scratch, but it would be really tedious without arrays (no for, while, and so on)

  Q2/ I see it works only with Time and CurrentTime is never updated (i.e:  if I use “IF CTM >= FutTime AND CT<220000 Then” in the code below instead of “IF CT >= FutTime AND CT<220000 Then”), is this or documented somewhere or a defect  ?

  Sample code I made to debug the issue:

  ONCE FutTime=40000 ONCE s=5*pipsize CH=Hour CM=Minute CMC=CurrentMinute CloseTime0=Close CT=Time CTC=CurrentTime BI=barindex Y=high DRAWTEXT(“FutTime: #FutTime#” , BI, Y+14*s) DRAWTEXT(“Time: #CT#” , BI, Y+12*s) DRAWTEXT(“Current time: #CTC#” , BI, Y+11*s) DRAWTEXT(“Minute: #CM#” , BI, Y+9*s) DRAWTEXT(“Current minute: #CMC#” , BI, Y+8*s) DRAWTEXT(“Close0: #closeTime0#” , BI, Y+6*s) DRAWTEXT(“Close1: #closeTime1#” , BI, Y+5*s) DRAWTEXT(“Close2: #closeTime2#” , BI, Y+4*s) DRAWTEXT(“Close3: #closeTime3#” , BI, Y+3*s) DRAWTEXT(“Close4: #closeTime4#” , BI, Y+2*s) DRAWTEXT(“Nb hits: #CountMM5M15#” , BI, Y+1*s) IF CT >= FutTime AND CT<220000 Then closetime4=closeTime3 closeTime3=closeTime2 closeTime2=closeTime1 closeTime1=closeTime0 CountMM5M15=CountMM5M15+1 Y=close s=-s DRAWTEXT(“FutTime: #FutTime#” , BI, Y+14*s) DRAWTEXT(“Time: #CT#” , BI, Y+12*s) DRAWTEXT(“Current time: #CTC#” , BI, Y+11*s) DRAWTEXT(“Minute: #CM#” , BI, Y+9*s) DRAWTEXT(“Current minute: #CMC#” , BI, Y+8*s) DRAWTEXT(“Close0: #closeTime0#” , BI, Y+6*s) DRAWTEXT(“Close1: #closeTime1#” , BI, Y+5*s) DRAWTEXT(“Close2: #closeTime2#” , BI, Y+4*s) DRAWTEXT(“Close3: #closeTime3#” , BI, Y+3*s) DRAWTEXT(“Close4: #closeTime4#” , BI, Y+2*s) DRAWTEXT(“Nb hits: #CountMM5M15#” , BI, Y+1*s) s=-s IF CM < 45 then FutTime=CH*10000+(ROUND(CM/15)+1)*1500 ELSE FutTime=(CH+1)*10000 DRAWVLINE(barindex) coloured (0,0,128) // test to see whether the test works: should draw a vertical line each hour IF FutTime > 210000 then FutTime= 040000 // make sure we do not collect value between 21:00:00 and 4:00:00 (fixed timings depending on local TZ) CountMM5M15=0 ENDIF ENDIF ENDIF Return

  Any suggestions or insights for Q1 and Q2 ?

  This will plot TIME & PRICE each 15 minute-chunk (roughly). I tested it on DOW 50 ticks to have more separation between text:

  DEFPARAM DrawOnLastBarOnly = true Distanza1 = 5 * pipsize Distanza2 = round(Distanza1 * 1.5) IF barindex = 0 THEN q1 = 0 q2 = 0 q3 = 0 q4 = 0 ENDIF IF OpenMinute >= 15 AND OpenMinute[1] < 15 THEN q1 = close b1 = barindex t1 = OpenTime ELSIF OpenMinute >= 30 AND OpenMinute[1] < 30 THEN q2 = close b2 = barindex t2 = OpenTime ELSIF OpenMinute >= 45 AND OpenMinute[1] < 45 THEN q3 = close b3 = barindex t3 = OpenTime ELSIF OpenMinute >= 0 AND OpenMinute[1] > OpenMinute THEN q4 = close b4 = barindex t4 = OpenTime ENDIF IF q1 > 0 THEN DRAWTEXT("time : #t1#",b1,q1 + Distanza2) DRAWTEXT("close: #q1#",b1,q1 + Distanza1) ENDIF IF q2 > 0 THEN DRAWTEXT("time : #t2#",b2,q2 + Distanza2) DRAWTEXT("close: #q2#",b2,q2 + Distanza1) ENDIF IF q3 > 0 THEN DRAWTEXT("time : #t3#",b3,q3 + Distanza2) DRAWTEXT("close: #q3#",b3,q3 + Distanza1) ENDIF IF q4 > 0 THEN DRAWTEXT("time : #t4#",b4,q4 + Distanza2) DRAWTEXT("close: #q4#",b4,q4 + Distanza1) ENDIF RETURN

  Thanks for your Help Roberto for Q2/,

  The algotrithm you use is very similar, based on minute instead on Time in the example I posted.

  Basically the data are biased the exact same way depending on the number of ticks I use in the chart .

  With your algorithm, it will be based on the opentime, with mine on the close time.

  On 200 ticks, I have the exact same issue. So I should use a very small number of Ticks to reduce the delay (data biased time);

  I would still need it to be used on a larger tick display, typically 200 to 10000.  And I believe there is no way in PRT to pass data from an indicator in a given timeframe to another graph in another timeframe (global variables, queue pipes, even files)?

  No, there’s no support for local/global variables and no MTF is supported by ProBuilder.

  To make more room between text with a higher number of ticks you could add some further distance one time, then subtract it next time so that you get some vertical separation.

  Thanks Roberto

  What I need is the close value at a precise time on a tick chart using ticksnb with (200<ticksnb<10000).

  Vertical bars and all my sample code is a subset I did to focus on the issue I have.

  The target code would be way more complex.

  Understanding that when an IF-THEN based on time is true in tick mode, it remains true till the bar ends (and that looks clearly a limit/defect to me), I used a WHILE instruction.

  Unfortunately, this does not work in PRT neither, the WHILE seems to be executed, but only at the close of the candle.

  This is another issue in PRT code execution strategy in ticks.
